Washington (CNN) - As he continues to mull a presidential bid, or say he is mulling a presidential bid, business mogul Donald Trump is lamenting the fact President Obama appears to have locked up the black vote.

"I have a great relationship with the blacks," Trump told Albany's Talk Radio 1300 Thursday. "I've always had a great relationship with the blacks."

But Trump says it's a "very sad thing" such a high percentage of that demographic supports President Obama, for reasons, he believes, that are largely influenced by race. The discussion was spawned by a recent poll of New York voters that found 95 percent of black voters there approve of the president's job performance. The same poll found that the president's overall approval rating in New York stands at 54 percent.

"Look at Hillary Clinton," the reality television star continued in reference to the 2008 Democratic presidential primary race. "Hillary Clinton did so much for the black population, so much and got very few votes."

"Look, I tell it like it is," he added. "Then you hear a political reporter go on and say, 'It had nothing to do with race.' But how come she got such a tiny piece of the vote. It's a very sad thing."

I think this is just a whine aimed to make the "Middle classes" angry at those gosh-darned "welfare queens". In other words, this is just a smear aimed to make the tea party more angry towards black people.

Actually, for once, I agree with Chump. Even a broken clock is, after all, right twice a day.

You will find a significant percentage of blacks in America vote for Obama simply because he's black, and for no other reason. This is exactly as ill-informed a political stance as people who voted for McCain simply because he was white, even if they didn't agree with a single one of his policies.

Protip: telling a black man "you are voting for Obama because he's black" is a really good way to have him show you his middle finger.
Just as I would raise mine if someone told me I've voted for a candidate because he's white.

It seems like the only thing *overtly* racist about what he said was using the term "the blacks". The rest essentially has an underlying message that black people voted for Obama because he is black and that black people ignore contributions from people like Hillary Clinton because they aren't black.

So Mr. Trump thinks that black people are either stupid or biased towards their own race, which is not exactly a positive step towards race relations.
